In As You Like it, the disguise becomes very comical as in the time it was written only men could act on stage. This could lead to much confusion and comedy in the roles of those in disguise. Disguise can give the freedom to a character to act how they like and a chance for them to show their views. It was in the 16th Century that there became an increased sense of self consciousness and identity.... [tags: Shakespeare, disguise, As You Like It, ]

Why Do We Give? -
Three Cups of Tea, the story of Mortenson and his extraordinary school-building initiative in a remote part of Pakistan, provokes many interesting lines of inquiry.

As we look back on our past we inevitably lose sight of our future, yet as we gaze into the future it seems so difficult to enjoy the present. Some say that we should live for the moment but they're so commonly the ones always whining about the unforeseen. Other say to live for a purpose, they seem inevitably to mean that you should neglect what's truly important in life in the name of money, power and fame.

Empathy in Brecht's The Good Person of Szechwan and Mother Courage and Her Children -
Little Empathy in Brecht's The Good Person of Szechwan and Mother Courage and Her Children Brecht is very successful in creating a form of drama where empathy plays little part. In The Good Person of Szechwan it would seem that every action and word is an attempt to alienate us and halt any identification one may chance to make. The indiscernible use of names for characters exaggerating the oriental sound of them is immediately noticeable i.e. 'Wang', 'Shin' 'Sun', 'Shen Te', 'Shu Ta', etc. There is also the use of language and intonation in relation to others revealing personality and social position, which comes in the form of oriental 'bows'....

'I' and the First Person Perspective -
'I' and the First Person Perspective ABSTRACT: Do the special features of 'I' have epistemological and metaphysical implications. Many philosophers have thought so. Here I investigate the relation between the first person singular pronoun 'I' and the first person perspective, construed as the perspective of consciousness. First, I discuss the semantics of 'I' as a lexeme of a natural language. The fact that semantic reference and speaker reference always coincide in the case of 'I' is shown to have important consequences: it explains the 'referential guarantees' and the impossibility of 'misidentification' which have seemed so mysterious....

This effect doesn’t always turn out to be positive, but for every action there is a reaction, nonetheless.

Gender and Social Norms in Shakespeare's As You Like It -
Gender and Social Norms in As You Like It Shakespeare based his comedy As You Like It primarily on three other works.

The Tale of Gamelyn, written by an unknown author in the mid-fourteenth century, is a violent Middle English narrative that was found among Chaucer's papers and provides further details for Shakespeare's work. With the Forest of Ardenne serving as an escape for our main characters, Shakespeare takes his details from the countless Robin Hood ballads popular in Medieval England. This paper will examine how Shakespeare's adaptations and alterations of emphasis and plot from these source works have turned our attention to the role of gender norms in society, the restrictions of social norms, and human influence on one's future. Lastly, included is a brief discussion of how these factors might influence a production of this clever and entertaining work.... [tags: Shakespeare As You Like It Essays]:: 10 Sources Cited

The glassy images were blurred, and their sills seemed to be decaying under the large collections of dust. There was a young girl playing by herself in the unkempt front lawn. This dwelling always caught my attention; it attracted me in a peculiar way. Whenever I walked down my block, my awareness was drawn to this particular house. Its run-down look set it apart from the rest of the houses on Tuttle Street, but I soon realized the contents within this house were priceless.... [tags: essays papers]

What Makes a Person? -
What makes a person a person. Does a fetus qualify. I'm asking for people just to work hard to get some clarity on this issue. It's not that hard.

The abortion issue is not a difficult issue. It is not a confusing issue. It is a very simple issue when it comes to the facts themselves. And I'm trying to urge people to have some clarity based on what is true here and what is moral and right; not based on what we want for ourselves.... [tags: essays research papers]

The Multiple Person Complex -
The Multiple Person Complex Well, I am embarrassed to admit this, but the assignment of the metaphor for life at a university was not something I worked very hard to write. Even more embarrassing is that it is evident when you read my paper. When I look back on it, I don't see a metaphor at all. A comparison. Yes. But there's no metaphor in my paper. That proves to me, and everyone in the class, that I didn't put a lot of thinking into my writing. So I have to ask myself why a paper that was easy enough to write could have turned out so wrong....

However, when the voluntary portion is taken from the voluntary giving, then the giving no longer as seen as an accomplishment by the wealthy individual, but it becomes an accomplishment by the entity that brought it to be. Andrew Carnegie was a stout advocate of giving back wealth to the community, but it is essential to understand his view and the circumstances of his age.... [tags: Economics ]:: 4 Works Cited

The Person of Christ -
The Person of Christ When discussing and proving the person of Christ, there are two basic laws that must be addressed and proven.

In Luke 2:52, it is written that Christ, even though he had a virgin birth, He was born with a human body that was conceived by a human body.... [tags: Papers]

When can we trust our senses to give us truth? -
Since humans evolved, we’ve relied on our senses to guide us and help us survive, for without them, we’d have gone extinct a long time ago. Our sight lets us view the world around, allowing us not only to spot danger, but also to explore, and discover new places and objects, whilst our hearing allows us, for example, to survey our surrounding more efficiently. We’ve always needed our senses to survive, so much so that the idea of them being untrustworthy is a worrying thought, but is it possible for this to happen, and can our senses be deceived....
